Three "celebrities" who don't deserve the press they are being given today: Ralph Nadar (although the non-profit headquarters news may crush is one percent margin), Jayson Blair (even though the Fox News channel seems to like him/hates The Times) and Whitney Houston (who should have been rehabilitated when she tried to dance).

Finally there will be a liberal radio network featuring the likes of left wing Al Franken (who supposedly will be calling his show The Franken Factor) and Janeane Garofalo. Can you hear Bill O'Reilly grinding his teeth? To find out more about Air America, click here: http://www.airamericaradio.com

They say that what you do now can come back and haunt you later. Such was the case for Jay Blotcher, a stringer at The New York Times who was fired after the paper found out that he was a member of the anti-AIDS advocacy group ACT UP...14 years ago. The Times is apparently arguing that his involvement with advocacy is a conflict of interest, since Blotcher has been handed the title of ACT UP member several times in print.
The Nation recently wrote about the debacle, citing positive and negatives reactions, including one from ACT UP founder and playwright Larry Kramer who likens the firing to McCarthyism. So it seems, the gesture is a grounded, if not consistent one, but I'm still wondering if the move is less about the paper's image (which is hardly squeaky clean) and more a tactic to crawl out from under the Jayson Blair shame. After all, Blair's new book is already on shelves.

It turns out that the content that had been posted here is lost to the cyber beast. But the name is back in place and I intend to add content regularly again to hopefully build up (build back) this page.
To begin, Bush's political spin monsters, I mean, advisors, have already rolled out the first negative campaign ad in what will undoubtedly be a series. Aside from crassly using the events of September 11 for political gain, the negative ad points to the administration's fear about reelection. Kerry, it seems, is a threat after all.
